Make-up Assignments

This is the second and last time that I will be posting these worksheets as the marking period comes to a close this Friday. I’ve made the dialogue surrounding missing work extremely clear to the class for some time now, and while some students took the initiative and squared away any issues they may have had, many others have not. There are absolutely zero reasons to not submit Homework and yet some have gone out of their way to do just that. Please, take advantage of this opportunity and you’ll see right away how much Homework impacts your overall grade. Thanks.

(If you don’t have a printer, print a copy in school in the Library, or write the work and answers out on lined paper with a detailed heading across the top so I know what the assignment is. If for some reason you need me to print something for you, just let me know..thanks)

I believe I have about 95% of all of the worksheets that were handed out as class and homework this marking period posted here in this thread. If you are missing workbook or textbook assignments, completing those activities is your responsibility so please use your gradebook to track which assignments need to be made up. For some of the more recent worksheets such as the Net handouts on 2, 5, and 7, I still have to put those in the gradebook and so I’ll try and catch up with that tonight. With that said, for those students whom have chosen to deny their own responsibility in looking up their missed work, thi swill be the last time that I do your job for you. If you have any questions about certain assignments just let me know, thanks!

****Since I do not accept late Reading Logs, I will allow students who have missed a ton of them to get credit back by completing these 3 worksheets below. Make sure to label on the front page that these worksheets were done in order to get credit for missing reading logs. Thanks.****

Find Meaning from Text PRINT (2/15, Velveteen Rabbit) (I couldn’t find a copy of the Ugly Duckling worksheet so this is acceptable even if I find an extra copy of the Ugly Duckling assignment in my files tomorrow)

Mr. Cookie Mystery Prompt, short 1-2 page story using the strategies and vocabulary terms for authenticity – (2/1, the directions were fairly simple on the blog, I’m having trouble finding them now but basically the idea was that Mr. Cookie had something stolen from him and the mystery centered around who stole the item and/or where it went? You can be creative and flexible with your story so long as it incorporates some of the mystery terms that we’ve studied on that Scholastic handout as well as any other skills that you’ve picked up during our lengthy study of the mystery genre.

Create and describe your own detective that you will use in your mystery stories as we move ahead. (2/10, compose at least a 1 page thorough description of your detective, a character that you will use across a handful of upcoming mystery stories.

Mysteries in the world that we come across in our lives but never stop to think how magical nature truly is. (2/10, compose at least a 1 page response based off our lengthy class discussion about mysteries in nature and all around us, things that we take for granted every day and consider normal, i.e. lightning, planes flying in the sky, fish that rain from the sky, sonic booms, etc. just interesting things that you might not understand just yet because you’re young. Are there answers to these mysteries or are they just that, mysteries?

RFK Reflection essay- Robert Kennedy gave a speech to a crowd of supporters on the back of a pickup truck. This speech was considered important because this was the first that the crowd had heard that MLK Jr. was assassinated literally moments before. RFK, upon hearing this sad news, was the right person at the right time to keep the crowd in check and also with their minds on the memory and legacy of Dr. King.

(2/23, students were to write a 1-2 page reflection to the speech itself, what it meant to them, what they heard, how it impacted the audience, why the speech is considered historically powerful and moving, etc. Think of the 5 W’s. Think about the context of the times, that MLK was literally murdered less than 30 minutes before, and that Robert Kennedy was also running for President at the time which made things equally more difficult for him as he did not want to come off as taking advantage of King’s death. Think of the potential impact on the civil rights movement, and listen closely with an open mind and heart when Kennedy speaks about the loss of his own brother. Truly a moving, unwritten and unplanned, speech.

March on Washington Writing HW PRINT (2/25, March on Washington information page with DBQ questions, the response should be at least 1 page, NOT 3 SENTENCES. This will be graded on a scale of 0-100 so my advice will be to follow the directions and do your best, try incorporating your own thoughts and feelings into your reflection after reading the article.

Secondary Characters assignment, students were shown descriptions of characters from the movie ‘Inside Out’ among others in hopes of inspiring them to develop very detailed characteristics of their own. (3/3, since this assignment is late or missing, students need to develop at least 5 characters of their own, preferably characters that they can include in a mystery story of their own. This can be a short story but it has to include at least 3 of the 5 characters that you created. The story must also resemble the style in which you developed your characters. The link to the Inside Out character descriptions is below.

These Reading Assignments from the Grammar Book below aren’t available online, there have been copies of all these assignments, however, in class in the bin labeled “extra worksheets” and yet no one has cared to even look. I’ll make copies of the assignments below as soon as I can tomorrow.

um hello. I did the African American sheet a while ago along with my 1st spelling quiz and you has them both. NetClassroom says that I have a 0 for them both! please put in the proper grade for them both you have them, and I can’t re-do the 1st spelling quiz.

Dude you destroyed everything I had really call my dad and tell him this garbage that is not true I did ask my mom if I can work with Jalon but she nevered answered me and he didn’t say his mom said yes about us working together. Goodbye

I didn’t do anything wrong, Keysean. I had nothing but extremely positive things to say about you to both your mother, father, and sister We all love ya, pal, and we just want to make sure that you get the results that you dearly want and know you are fully capable of earning on your own. You owe it first to yourself and then to your family to start believing that people care and start believing that your such an incredibly bright and capable young man, so much so that it hurts the people that love you most because we all know how amazing you are and how powerful it can be to people if only you would open up and share a little bit more of yourself and your personality. I know it’s not easy because you and I share some similar traits, but I promise you that if you love yourself more and are willing to take risks, your grades will skyrocket along with your confidence.

Dude is Jalon coming to school today because I have some very interesting words to say to him because I’m helping him with our description of our volcano project I have paragraph 1 and 2 done but I need him to do paragraph 4 and 5 while I do paragraph 3 right now at 6:23 am in the morning so tell his mom I’m doing part of the essay with and we are going to discuss how we are going to present our project thanks
